Best & Cool Bars in Linda Vista

"No dish says more about Nine-Ten Restaurant than its Jamaican jerk pork belly appetizer. This centerpiece pays homage to Executive Chef Jason Knibb’s Jamaican heritage, albeit in elevated form, and the pairing with baby carrots, swiss chard, plantains, and black-eyed peas with sweet potato purée gives it a California feel. It’s a variation on a theme repeated throughout the menu: flavor combinations that make sense, offered in surprising and refined ways."

"This casually elegant restaurant with indoor seating or sidewalk tables on Prospect Street offers a unique seasonal style of California cuisine dictated by the local harvest. Happy hour is offered Monday – Friday from 3:30 – 6:30 pm and features a ½ priced bar food menu, $5 glasses of red and white wine and $2 off all beers. We recommend the Harissa Grilled Shrimp Toast with avocado and the Lamb Meatballs; both are reasons we’d return again."

"NINE-TEN offers an "Evolving California Cuisine" menu dictated by fresh products discovered during daily excursions to local artisan providers. Go for breakfast, lunch or dinner and sit inside the casually elegant interior or people watch from pet-friendly tables outside on Prospect Street. NINE-TEN has a kids menu for young diners featuring PB&Js, mac and cheese as well as other favorites."

At Puesto, the three Adler brothers pack hand-pressed blue-corn tortillas with crispy melted cheese, garlic-braised seasonal veggies, al pastor, cactus and even lobster and filet mignon. It’s one of the area’s most colorful settings—decorated with neon murals and Mexican tiles—and sports a handful of vibrant and fun margaritas to match."

"The La Jolla outpost of Puesto is a bit smaller than some of the others but packs the same punch in offering quality Mexican food with inventive, modern twists. Lesser-known is that they have recently ramped up their dessert options."

"South Park’s Fernside will be offering a rotation menu of bottled cocktails (they will all be doubles) along with Pimm’s Cup (discounted during happy hour) michelada kits, wine, 32oz growlers of draft beer and spirits."
